OBA should have saved the bullets for healthcare. She's not worth what it's going to cost.

unless they dig up a corpse under her porch, it's going to be an easy downhill coast to confirmation.
most elected republicans are relieved someone more ideological wasn't nominated. many liberals may wish they had gotten the ideological choice but aren't going to oppose her.
supreme court nominations are fund raising opportunities for advocacy groups of all ideological stripes. the nominee doesn't matter in terms of whether there's going to be some "controversy" manufactured.
looking at a judicial record that shows no evidence of bias in favor of minorities and generally narrow rulings that apply only to a specific case, only the seriously uninformed could think this is a troubled nomination.
